Assisted Performances
Our assisted performances are designed to make the show welcoming and enjoyable for everyone. At these performances, small adjustments such as captioning, relaxed audience guidelines, or audio description may be available to support audience members with different access needs. These elements are thoughtfully integrated into the performance and won’t affect the overall experience of the show. Whether you’re attending because you’d benefit from these adjustments or simply coming along to enjoy the performance, everyone is welcome.
Audio Described
Audio Described performances feature a live commentary on what is happening on-stage, which can only be heard through our radio system via your own hearing devices, or through our headsets.
Audio Described performances will be marked with this icon.
BSL Interpreted
At our BSL interpreted performances, a signer will be stood at the side of the stage. The signer will interpret what is said on stage into BSL as the show happens.
BSL interpreted performances will be marked with this icon.
Captioned
Captioned performances are very similar to having subtitles when you watch TV. Screens at the side of the stage will display the words spoken or sung on stage in real-time.
Captioned performances will be marked with this icon.
Chilled
Whilst the show itself remains unchanged and the auditorium remains dark during our Chilled performances, you are free to make noise and come and go from the auditorium as you please. Should you prefer the houselights up, quieter music, or less special effects, our Relaxed performances may suit you better.

Relaxed
Our Relaxed performances are a perfect way to enjoy theatre in a much less stressful environment. All the lights in the auditorium remain on, and many shows have quieter music, reduced surprising effects, reduced strobe lighting, and reduced pyrotechnics.
Relaxed performances will be marked with this icon.
Touch Tours
Ahead of our Audio Described performances, we offer a Touch Tour before many of our shows. This is a separate pre-show event, where you can touch costumes, props, and set pieces to familiarise yourself before the show.
Performances with a pre-show Touch Tour will have this icon.
